After the divorce, the boss doted on me

Gu Mian stroked the edge of the star with her fingertips, but still couldn't hold back the longing in her heart. She touched the lock screen button of the phone, but the screen remained on the dial interface.

She pressed it with her eyes closed, her heart beating faster, and even her palms were sweating.

The phone rang a few times before it was connected, Gu Mian held her breath, not knowing what to say, the sound of pattering rain came clearly from the other end of the phone.

Is it raining over there too?

Gu Mian pursed her lips, and said softly, as if she was afraid of disturbing anything: "Achuan."

……

After Ji Lingchuan saw Gu Mian and Lu Chen entering the villa together, his heart sank. For a moment, he didn't know where he was going next, so he simply stood there.

Waiting for another two hours, until the dinner was over, he saw Lu Chen coming out of the villa holding an umbrella, and it was Gu Mian who personally sent him to the door.

The two stood together and said a few words, then, Lu Chen drove away, and Gu Mian turned back to the villa.

He could have rushed up to grab her, but he didn't, maybe he didn't have the courage, or maybe he was competing with himself.

Finally, the phone in his pocket rang.

Although it was an unfamiliar call, Ji Lingchuan had a strong premonition that it was Gu Mian calling.

It turned out that he was right, and she called him anyway.

The sound of "A Chuan" made him throw up his helmet and armor, and he couldn't care about anything for a moment, and he desperately wanted to see her.

Ji Lingchuan's hand holding the umbrella handle tightened, and his voice was hoarse: "Well, I'm here."

Gu Mian covered her mouth, trying her best to restrain the urge to cry, but it was useless, she could only bite her lip tightly to prevent herself from making a sound, it hurt so much.

After a while, she calmed down a little, and said in a low voice, "You...have you finished filming?"

Without waiting for a reply, she carefully explained: "I mean, is the film you're shooting finished?" She wasn't sure if he was receiving her call now during a break in filming or if it had already finished filming.

If he was still filming, she didn't know whether to continue talking.

Ji Lingchuan: "It's over."

Gu Mian pinched the curtain next to her with her fingers, as if she wanted to pull it down with great strength. She was silent for a long time, and found that she didn't know where to start.

It has only been more than a month, but she feels so long ago that she doesn't want to recall it, as long as she thinks about it, she will feel a dull pain in her chest, as if the scars that have scabbed have been torn apart forcefully, dripping with blood.

She grabbed the fabric on her chest, and every breath fell on Ji Lingchuan's ear. She opened her mouth, but the words turned into: "Achuan, I miss you so much..."

Ji Lingchuan's heart trembled suddenly.

The voice of the person over there suddenly changed, as if trying to suppress something: "I came to England, my mother had... an accident, she needs to go abroad for treatment, I... have no choice. Mom and Dad... are divorced No, mom only has me."

Because of the congestion in his throat, he spoke intermittently, mixed with subtle, imperceptible choking sounds, and some incoherent speech.

Even though she tried hard to hide it, Ji Lingchuan still noticed, she... crying?

Gu Mian thought he didn't know, so in order not to let him hear anything strange, she moved the phone a little far away, covered the receiver with her hand, and sniffed lightly, trying to make her voice sound normal.

After adjusting, she attached the phone to her ear again: "I want to stay here to study and take care of my mother by the way."

Both uncle and aunt have their own jobs. Even if they hire a helper to take care of them, they cannot replace the encouragement and warmth she brings to their mother.

After Gu Mian finished speaking, she turned her back against the window and quietly waited for the reply from there.

But she waited for a long time, and Ji Lingchuan didn't speak.

Gradually, her legs couldn't stand anymore, she slowly squatted down and sat on the floor, with the hand that wasn't holding the phone wrapped around her knees, feeling a sense of loss and fear in her heart.

Originally, she and Ji Lingchuan often didn't see each other for several months, but now he was going to be filming in China and she was going to study abroad. Not only were they separated by a long distance, but there was also a time difference of nearly eight hours.

This relationship is nothing more than two endings, one is that he waits for her, and the other is... breaking up.

Just thinking about those two words made her feel as if she was about to suffocate.

Ji Lingchuan was the first person she liked. Although they didn't spend much time together after dating, she was soberly aware that her feelings for him deepened little by little.

If possible, she also wanted to be by his side all the time.

Ji Lingchuan looked at the villa in the night, there were several rooms with lights on, and he didn't know which one belonged to Gu Mian.

"Mianmian, come out." He said suddenly.

Gu Mian was still immersed in the sadness of breaking up. Hearing his words, she froze for a moment, unable to react for a moment: "You, what did you say?"

This time she forgot to hide it, Ji Lingchuan heard a strong nasal voice, and she really cried.

The rain outside the window gradually became quieter, and the sound could hardly be heard. Miraculously, the sound of the rain on the other end of the phone also became quieter. Gu Mian opened his eyes wide. Could it be that he is in England?

In the next second, Ji Lingchuan's words verified her guess: "I'm outside your house." After a pause, she worried that she didn't speak clearly enough, "It's not the Gu family, it's the British home."

Gu Mian turned her head and looked outside through the glass window.

It was already dark, and nothing could be seen except the bright white lamps.

Gu Mian's ears were buzzing, and his mind was full of Ji Lingchuan coming to England, he came to look for her, and he was outside the villa now.

She immediately got up and ran out. Because she ran too fast, she accidentally knocked down the chair by the table and hit the floor with a loud noise.

Ji Lingchuan frowned when he heard the voice: "Mianmian?" Did she fall down?

Gu Mian didn't have time to lift up the chair, opened the door and walked out, just in time to bump into Alisa who came out of the study when she heard the noise.

She is the editor-in-chief of a publishing house. She is usually busy with work, and she has to take home the unfinished work.She was reading the email just now, when she heard a noise, she came out to check the situation.

Alisa glanced at the room behind her: "Mianmian, are you alright?"

Gu Mian shook her head in a panic: "I'm fine, no, I have something to do... I need to go out for a while."

Before Alisa asked what she was going out for, Gu Mian ran out.

She walked in a hurry, even forgot to take her umbrella, and was drenched in the rain as soon as she went out. Fortunately, it didn't fall that hard at the moment, so she ran in the rain with one hand covering her head.

It usually takes several minutes to walk from the villa to the gate, but she arrived at Ma Gu's side in the blink of an eye.

Before the phone was hung up, a thin layer of raindrops fell on the screen. She wiped it off with her hands, her heart almost jumped out of her throat, and her voice trembled uncontrollably: "Achuan, where are you..."

Before she finished speaking, she was pulled into a cold embrace.

Ji Lingchuan hugged her from behind, the umbrella in his hand was thrown on the ground long ago, his arms wrapped around her like vines, and a familiar voice rang in his ears: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry Mianmian, I'm sorry."

It was all his fault for not being by her side when she needed him most.With so much going on, he could imagine how helpless and hopeless she was.

Gu Mian closed her eyes, tears fell from the corners of her eyes.

She didn't know how long Ji Lingchuan had been waiting outside before she lost any warmth, but she still wanted to say that although this embrace was not so warm, it was the most comforting to her.

He apologized in her ear over and over again. In fact, thinking about it, he didn't do anything wrong. He didn't know what happened to her when he sent that text message.

At that time, she was too sad, and she was overwhelmed by the weight of one thing after another. His sentence "Do not disturb" was the last straw that broke the camel's back. She only felt that she had been abandoned.

She was angry with him, complained to him, and even thought about ignoring him for a long time, as if she did not bother him as he wished.

However, when she came to England and was really far away from him, the yearning was as unbearable as ants gnawed on her, so much so that she couldn't help calling him when she thought that he might finish filming.

Until he appeared in front of her at such an important time tonight, all her anxiety disappeared.

Gu Mian turned around and buried herself in his arms, and said in a muffled voice, "I don't blame you."

Ji Lingchuan's chin rested on the top of her head. At this moment, she was finally sure that she didn't want him.

However, he still wanted to hear her say it himself.

In the drizzle, he held her face in his hands, stared straight into hers with dark eyes, and said word by word: "So, you left without saying goodbye because you didn't want to disturb my filming, didn't mean you gave up on me, or meant to break up with me." ,Is it right?"

Gu Mian's eyes were a little red, she was silent for a moment, and said, "I never thought about it that way."

Ji Lingchuan lowered his head and kissed her, that was enough, as long as she was still willing to be with him, no matter how long she had to stay abroad, he would wait for her.

The night was deep, and the rain was wrapped in a trace of coolness, falling on the two of them, and beside them was a bright European-style lamp, quietly shedding light.

Ji Lingchuan's cold body gradually warmed up.

He really wanted to warn Gu Mian, don't be stupid again in the future, or don't be so sensible, he was never afraid of her interruption.However, the atmosphere was so quiet that he couldn't bear to make a sound to disrupt it.

Gu Mian wrapped her arms around his waist, and there was a pleasant smell in her nose, which made her reluctant to let go.

Time seemed to stand still, and the two embraced tightly until Gu Mian couldn't help but sneezed, then Ji Lingchuan let go of her nervously, picked up the umbrella on the ground and covered her head.

I didn't notice it just now, but now I saw that she ran out wearing a nightdress, with sandals and slippers on her feet, which were wet by the rain and stained with mud.

Gu Mian rubbed her nose, her eyes were still red, she cried several times today, and the area around her eyes was still a bit swollen.

Ji Lingchuan approached slowly, and pressed her warm lips against her eyes. She was caught off guard, her eyelashes fluttered a few times, and she felt something cold push into her right middle finger.

As if guessing what it was, Gu Mian's heart was pounding.

After a while, Ji Lingchuan backed away a little.She looked down at her hand, and there was a ring on her middle finger, a silver ring, with a row of diamonds facing upwards, the middle one was slightly larger, and the two sides were small broken diamonds, even in the dark Shine like a star.

Ji Lingchuan said: "Happy 19th birthday, this is a birthday present for you."

Gu Mian covered her eyes with the back of her hand, pursed her lips lightly, you are trying to make me cry on purpose, right?

Ji Lingchuan also said: "This ring represents the agreement between us. You can stay in the UK as long as you want, and I will always wait for you."

Of course, it's also telling other boys that this girl has her own wife, so don't worry about whether or not she should.
